Default What do you invest in?

What do you invest in? I try to spread my investments out. You know, don't carry all your eggs in one basket.

I want to invest in a local business. Like a shop or a small store--something like that.

I know it's good to spread out, but I like to have a lot of stake in one company so I can focus all my attention on that.

I don't really invest anything now but I would try to diversify if possible especially if it's a big one, currently thinking of investing some online business or something.

i thinking investing in upcoming businesses is a good idea like investing in start up companies is a good way to rise through the floors of success.

But don't u think it is much more risky ?? Moreover startup business require funding several times(making it a big sum) before generating any return ...

yes thats true but risk is always there even if you are crossing the road to get to the other side,so for safety we can sit back at our home and enjoy,risk taking is part of life.

well, what you are saying is for people who belongs to opulent class i.e one who already have enough fund to take risk and invest anywhere sitting at home . But what about working people , like us who like to earn some more bucks, investing small amount somewhere.

well my friend this is what some of the business magnets did,we have to take some risks for moving to the next level and to become an opulent.yes there is a chance that you might loose your savings but if you do make big,its all good at the end of the day.

Mate , you are not getting me . Risk is fine but what if one don't have enough money to invest. You are looking from the perspective where people, have enough money to invest and take any kind of risk , not from the point of common people.

yes but this is the case study,i think this is the best option for me,generally people want safety as a priority but when you want to speed things up,you have to take the risks.sometimes it gives negative results too but atleast you know that you tried.

It is because, you have at least bucks, money to venture so you can take a risk. Not everybody have the same position, thats what i mean.

No. I don't but i still invest in some proportion in shares and other stuff, whatever I save at the end of the month. I simply don't like keeping the money in banks.

well that depends on which field you are choosing but having 50,000$ is a good investment to head start for a good company then within next 3 years you can build up.

I admire some of you guys here seems to have good amount of money to invest in stocks and such, but right now I'm getting there and hopefully we all will succeed as nowadays business and such tends to be risky, kinda hard to predict.

No, its not that . Just whatever i save , I invest those in shares. Had a good return from them, so I am reinvesting those bucks again and again, thus making an amount.

I invested in high-end fashion and luxury products and export to US, Europe and Asia. It starts to get interesting now after about 4 years!

I haven't really invested in Brazil yet... it seems like you have to jump through a lot of hoops. Plus, Brazil seems pretty socialistic and anti-business friendly, and you can be scammed by Brazilians if you don't watch out. So, all my investments are elsewhere for now.

Right now most of my investments are in savings bonds in the United States, but I'm starting to get a bit scared of that!

hey, everyone, I am new here, personally I don't invest in stock but forex occasionally, now I'm looking for some business partner in your place, or just give me some information, thanks,

we provide mobile charger with lighting and note-detecting function; it's a little bigger than AA battery, and charges with AA battery, with 50 minutes' charging can last 24 hours standby or 90-180 minutes' talk, can be practical in emergency during outing or trip; and the note-detector and torch is also practical, huh

anyone who interests can give me a message, or just give me some information about this in your place, reach me at: neo_landers@yahoo.com
thank you all, regards

to have a business is a perfect way to invest your income and savings. Of course you must take also into consideration the steps, requirements to have a successful business. Always go to the field that fits to your interest.
